Best Advert of the Year

Created by Madonna’s husband, Guy Ritchie, for Nike.  Really unique: this was shot using a microscopic camera on a players head: what you see is  what the player sees during a match. (I’m going to guess they used Theo Walcott or Robin van Persie as the player.)  If your not attuned to soccer at all here’s a short primer to help you understand: Most players start off playing in lower leagues (there are several in a country like England, and teams get promoted and relegated each year based on performance) and get recognized by scouts.   Arsene Wenger, who boasts an unequalled eye for talent, watches this player and signs him for his team, the world famous Arsenal FC…the player’s learning curve is profiled against teams like Manchester United and Barcelona…and culminates horatio alger style when he gets called up to play for his home country (im assuming), the netherlands – next to klaas jan huntelaar and against Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.  enjoy:

Unfortunately adidas (yes it’s lowercase) is still better, minus the f-50’s of course. The new t-90’s are insane, but the Predators are already in the asylum. Nike + Soccer = Failure
adidas + Soccer = Greatness… and then some
